AUBURN, Alabama -- Former Auburn cornerback Ryan White has signed a contract as an undrafted free agent with the Green Bay Packers, White confirmed in a text message on Saturday shortly after the end of the 2014 NFL Draft.

White, who can play either cornerback or safety, will begin his pursuit of an NFL career with the Packers rookie minicamp next weekend.

After starting two games at cornerback early in the year in relief of an injured Chris Davis, White was forced to move to safety a day before the Tigers took on Texas A&M, then made an interception of Johnny Manziel.

For the season, he finished with 54 tackles, the interception and six pass breakups. Originally brought in as an athlete who got a short stint at quarterback in his first camp with Auburn, White served as the Tigers' dime back in their run to the national title game, playing both cornerback and safety.
